Get the Run Down # 5 Eureka Seven
EUREKA SEVEN – © 2005 – 2006 Bones/ Bandai
How many Mecha anime has ever been created?
According to the Myanimelist.com 1082.
As a life long anime fan, I guarantee that out of 1082 Mecha anime you have not seen one quite like Eureka Seven.
It’s incredible how it takes elements from anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion without being an obvious copycat.
My goal is simple I am going to talk about Eureka Seven so you have enough information to decide if it’s is worth watching.
Renton Thurston is a fan of Holland the leader of the Gekkostate.
He is a mechanic thanks to the training of his grandfather and dreams of lifting which is surfing in the air on the trapar waves.
One day an LFO (the mechs in this anime) drops on his house and Renton meets Eureka the pilot of the LFO and a member of the Gekkostate. Eventually, Renton joins the Gekkostate under Holland his idol. He joins the mercenaries on their many jobs.
These initial jobs seem mundane but eventually, a grander scheme is revealed. It will take the combined forces of the Gekkostate to take down a government conspiracy that threatens the whole world.
I was blown away by this anime and pleasantly surprised. There so many powerful emotional moments that really impacted me.
This anime follows the Gekkostate’s crew and their growth which develops so beautifully in each episode.
The concept behind the LFOs which are the mechs in this anime is a breath of fresh air. Without giving too much away they are more than machines containing organic elements.
From episode 30 to 50 the anime really picks up and gets closer to the ultimate conclusion. Which is excellent and definitely rewards you the viewer for sticking through all 50 episodes.
The anime subtly incorporates it’s constant references to music and other interesting ideas in the story.
Not all of Eureka Seven is perfect though.
This is not something exclusive to Eureka Seven but this anime will reference an event that occurred a while ago without a flashback.
So, many times I have to look up stuff because I forgot who or what that thing was.
Some have criticized the show for starting slow and lacking direction and there is some truth to that.
I was able to look past it but I can understand if many people cannot.
If Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of your favorite mecha anime you will like this anime a lot.
For everyone else this a great mecha anime to watch if the current mecha animes are too stale and unoriginal for you.
